Woodrow Wilson
His [the President's] office is anything he has the sagacity and force to make it.
Woodrow Wilson

Woodrow Wilson
I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character.

Woodrow Wilson

After their own day is gone their spirits stalk the world, carrying inspiration everywhere that they go and reminding men of the lineage, the fine lineage, of those who have sought justice and right.
Woodrow Wilson
A right is worth fighting for only when it can be put into operation.
Woodrow Wilson
